The Lovin’oven Bakery

Very first time visiting this place. The smell of cookies and pastries we’re fantastic. I purchased some m&m cookies for the family. The first bite I was thinking this is delicious. The taste of the dough, butter and m&m had me in daze. Not only they make great cookies, they do wedding, birthday, and other events in advanced. Their prices is very reasonable. Will I visit there again yes… I give respect to the owner, the Bakers, and the people who work there.

Love this little bakery tucked into a corner of the Lancaster square. My main thing here is the peanut butter cookie sandwich. It is a peanut butter cookie, peanut butter icing, and then topped with another peanut butter cookie. They call it death by peanut butter. They have some of, if not the best, butter cream icing here. I know they do other things like cakes for parties, but I have not used them for that sort of thing.

Worth the drive from Plano.
The chocolate chip cookie/​buttercream icing sandwiches are soooo sweet and yummy. Not my favorite chocolate chip cookie, but very good (in the absence of brown sugar like Tollhouse coolies). The buttercream icing/​filling is excellent! I’ll buy several filled w/​the buttercream icing and several unfilled cookies, using the unfilled cookies to stretch out the plentiful icing.
Strawberry Cake Balls = outstanding.
Iced brownies = outstanding.
White wedding cake slice = very good.

I’ve been working in Lancaster for over ten years. I’m about to leave for another job. For very special occasions, we have bought sweets from Lovin’ Oven. The times when that has happened make for my best memories of working here. This place makes impossibly great Italian cream cake, easily the best I have ever had. Big, moist, and flavorful; just amazing stuff. The cookies are terrific, and you can gat a nice lunch, too. Make the trip, and you will not be disappointed.

Tucked away inside historic Lancaster. Prices very affordable. Great mom & pop type shop with friendly owners who truly know how to bake.
Got strawberry cake– buttercream frosting, light/​airy/​not too sweet
choc chip cookie sandwich w/​buttercream-​slightly refrigerated and does not melt
hummingbird cake– carrot cake with a twist, not too sweet w/​buttercream frosting
peanut butter cookie-​soft, delicate, great flavor
m&m cookie-​perfect cookie with great flavor surrounding the candy
lemon bar– not the best thing on the menu but serves the lemon craving
white choc lemon bar– divine! provides just the right amount of lemon and white choc
dollie bar– chocolate/​pecan goodness
all of this for 17.00; checkout lady said if you get 6 or more items the order is tax free OR two slices of cake its tax free. normal business hours they operate so check them out when you got a sweet tooth!

When I heard about this place I was ecstatic, Two Chocolate chip cookies with nothing but frosting in between? Hell yes! Sign me up!
Alas, it was not to be…
The cookie was there, I put up a photo of it (check it out). But it’s just so damn… sugary! I know, I know you’re thinking «What the hell did you expect? It’s a cookie sandwich filled with icing.» But seriously, the one they sold me may have been old because it was so damn hard it cut the roof of my mouth. It was also nasty because the damn thing didn’t taste like anything but sugar. It didn’t taste like a chocolate chip cookie it tasted like a rock solid block of sugar. It wasn’t just the damn cookie sandwich, it was the lemon square, the chocolate cake and the coffee… oh god… the coffee.
Maybe this place is old fashioned but when ever I can go to a bakery any where else, and I mean anywhere, from Boston to Rome. I can get halfway decent cup of coffee at a bakery. Or a Cappuccino, or a latte or at the very least some actual cream. If you run a bakery why the HELL wouldn’t you have some damn cream for your customer’s coffee? You cook with it, so why the hell wouldn’t you have any real cream? Anyway… I know it’s knit-​picky but if I order a cup of coffee I don’t want it to watch the lady making it whip out some instant coffee and pour it into hot water… and then have he stones to charge me three bucks for it.
Screw it… my biggest problem with this place is the cleanliness. I know this place was hit by a tornado about ten or fifteen years ago, but it looks like it’s never been repaired. It still has cracked walls and nasty yellowed wall paper. Sure I know that places like this have certain charm with a kind of busted up little look to it. But if you run a business that looks a little rough around the edges, you’re supposed to be spending the money your saving not fixing your business, on better ingredients, making better food, and so on. Somehow this place has not done either…
If you like VERY sweet food that only tastes like sugar then go for it…

OMG, I love this place. Pardon me, WE love this place. I was giving it a 4 star rating, but my husband, who’s peering over my shoulder and giving his input, says it should have a 5 star rating. Lovin’ Oven has the absolute best chicken salad that I’ve ever eaten. Their bakeries, cookies, and pastries are to die for. I have a friend from out of town (who just so happens to be diabetic) and every time she comes to DFW to visit, she won’t go home until after we’ve gotten some good treats from here. This place is super yummy and I am and will be a return customer!

Seven up cake with glaze is the best in the metroplex. Must have for every holiday. Would be a 5 but the cookies are not great — undercooked.

I stopped in Lovin Oven Bakery this morning for the first time. My intention was to buy some cookies for the ladies that work at my credit union across the street, but after looking in the display case at the brownies, I knew I wasnt leaving this place with just cookies. I got some Chocolate brownies, and Cream Cheese Iced brownies. They are the best I have ever had from a bakery. I never got to sample the cookies, but after taking them to my credit union, the ladies there told me that they had them before and they are fantastic. I shoulda gone back for more cookies, but feared I might end up in a diabetic coma with all that sugar. Lovin Oven… I will return soon!

This bakery produces the BEST cakes I have ever had. I always come here for birthdays and graduation. They will make the cake any way you like, and they are not that expensive. You have to try!

Let me start off by letting everybody know that I am a health nut. I have all my meal timed out and eat each one at the same time every day, and have certain ways that i prepare each one so that it can compliment my workout schedule (Its ridiculous… I know). However, almost every time that i have a chance to consume a sweet treat, i will not budge unless it is from this place. Their cookies are made fresh throughout the day, and the cakes (I dont like cake) are out of this world. I have a sister who has beento some of the fanciest restaurants, parties, events, etc and had cakes from some of the most expensive bakeries in Dallas, but when her birthday comes around, anything other than lovin oven is unacceptable. Their cookies are buttery, and soft.
I grew up in Lancaster, so i may be a little biased growing up with this place, but to me, a sweet treat just isnt worth screwing up my diet if it doesnt come from here.
Please, go out of your way to make it to lancaster, and you will see what i mean. If your a baller, try the cookie monster (two sugar cookies with fresh icing in the middle). It is absolutely riciculous.
